The original Holy Ampulla in its relic receptacle

Late Carolingian ivory relief, c. 870, showing both the two different legends of the origins of the Sainte Ampoule. In the middle two vials are filled by the Hand of God, as the "moribund pagan" waits to the right. At bottom the dove of the Holy Spirit delivers the filled ampoule for the baptism of Clovis I.

The Holy Ampulla or Holy Ampoule (Sainte Ampoule in French) was a glass vial which, from its first recorded use by Pope Innocent II for the anointing of Louis VII in 1131 to the coronation of Louis XVI in 1775, held the chrism or anointing oil for the coronation of the kings of France.
